People who live in high density areas, with 11 or more venues within easy walking distance, had a 16 per cent higher risk of suffering heart failure. The study was conducted in the US using UK data.
Living near ready-to-eat food outlets particularly pubs, bars and fast-food restaurants may be associated with a greater risk of developing heart failure.
People who live close to a pub, bar or fast-food restaurant have a higher risk of heart failure, compared to those who live farther away, researchers report.
